After Alexandra had returned from the Prism Dimension, Poppy insisted that she needed new clothes, so they headed over to the mall. Shortly after they walked in, Poppy’s attention was drawn to a window display.
“That dress is so cute!” Poppy pointed to a pastel blue dress with a floral print. She began walking towards the entrance to the store, and Alexandra followed. Once they were inside, Poppy spotted the rack with the dress, and began looking for her size.
Alexandra looked around the store, then walked over to another rack. She reached for a little black dress, then held it up. “Do you like this?” she asked Poppy.
“I bet that would look good on you,” Poppy told her.
The two of them made their way over to the fitting room, where they tried on the dresses. Alexandra looked in the mirror. Poppy was right; the dress was very flattering. It hugged her curves in all the right places. After changing out of the dress, she went to the register to pay for it. Poppy followed her, and bought the blue dress.
They continued walking through the mall. As they approached a lingerie store, Alexandra turned to Poppy. “Let’s go in there.”
After entering the store, Alexandra looked through the underwear. She held up a pair of red lace panties. “I bet Caleb would like these on me.”
Poppy frowned. “You’re still seeing him?”
Alexandra nodded. “I know he’s done bad things, but he’s trying to change. I want to help him be a better person. Besides, he’s really hot, and he’s great in bed.”
Poppy looked at her with concern. “I just don’t want to see you get hurt. I’m not sure he’s good for you.”
“I’ll take my chances.” Alexandra picked up a pair of green lace panties. “Dax would probably like these.”
Poppy blushed. “I don’t know.”
“You should get them!” She picked up another pair of underpants. “And these orange ones too. His favorite colors. He’d love to see them on you. Whenever you want him to, that is.”
Poppy reached for the underwear. “Maybe. I guess it can’t hurt to buy them.”
“Of course not!” Alexandra continued looking through the undergarments. “These black ones are nice too.” She turned around and picked up a red negligee with black lace trim. “Oh, look at this!”
After buying the negligee and underpants, they went to a shoe store, where Alexandra bought black leather boots and black high-heeled shoes. Poppy also bought a few pairs of shoes. It was a successful shopping day, and Alexandra was glad to be able to spend time with her best friend again.
